Personally, I think if Barry Larkin is in the hall then you need to have people like Alan Trammel, Keith Hernandez, Gary Carter (oh, wait, he *should* be in), Dave Kingman, Greg Luzinski, Dick Allen, Dale Murphy and so on in there too. These were all good players who, in their prime, were probably a bigger asset to their teams than Larkin (even as a SS) and have put up numbers that are just on the cusp of not being hall-of-fame worthy.
